Even Scalia has stated in a number of opinions, whether they were Per Curiam or dissent, that some laws are constitutional even though they are dumb.

For example mandatory seat belt laws. It appears that no one is bothered by the blatant assault on the individual privacy such as these - although people should wear them I think these laws are a violation of civil liberities..

But the states have the right to impose these laws even though there is no power for the federal govt to require this. Manditory liability insurance is another example at the state level as requirement for driving a car.

I love Scalia, but I am still waiting for someone to justify his concurrence in South Dakota v Dole.

We're not talking about a "Dumb" law, we're talking about Socialism.

Whether or not it is allowable legally is not the point.

The point is it is Socialism and as conservatives, the last time I checked, we were in agreeance AGAINST Socialism.
